DAY 1: LONGYEARBYEN & GRUVELAGERET

Seasonal Dining in an old Coal Mine Warehouse

Bring your shoulders down, admire the magic light in the high Arctic, and find yourself enclosed by the unparalleled silence on Svalbard. Settle in at the exclusive Svalbard Hotel , and stroll around Longyearbyen to get a feel of the city. Tonight's food experience takes place in Gruvelageret. The restaurant is epic, right beneath a glacier, and conveys Svalbards history as a mining community. You will be served a 4-course seasonal menu by the dedicated team. We recommend a night cap with the locals at Karlsberger Pub before walking back to the hotel.

DAY 2: Arctic wilderness & HUSET

Dog Sledding Experience and Huset Arctic Dining

Thoughts swell in the encounter with Svalbard’s exciting wildlife, history and fascinating cultural monuments located across the archipelago. Depending on the season you go, we will take you on a summer or winter dog sledding experience.

"Huset” is one of Longyearbyen’s most legendary buildings, and has been serving fine liquors, beers and wines to its people since the '50s. Enjoy a 5-course meny characterized by Nordic techniques and tasting combinations, with ingridients from the Svalbard and Arctic region.

After having moved with respect in the vulnerable landscape, let the images and memories of wonderful experiences be what you bring back home from Svalbard.
